among them. From sunset to sunrise is 

 the ideal watering time, as loss from 

 condensation is thus avoided. Let the 

 sprinklers stay two and one-half to three 

 hours before moving; then the ground 

 is morally certain to be well soaked. If 

 a mulch of old manure has been given 

 the plants, the waterings will help to 

 carry some food down to the roots. 

 Keep all seed pods removed. Pull up 

 dead plants. After hot, enervating 

 days a good hosing over will freshen 

 the plants wonderfully. 



Myosotis. 



Th0 various forget-me-nots should be 

 sown at the same time as the pansies. 

 It is well to sow them, like the pansies, 

 under shaded sashes, to insure an ex- 

 cellent germination. These always re- 

 tain their poj»ularity for spring bedding 

 and the sale for them in baskets from 

 Waster until Memorial day seems to in- 

 f-rease each year. Every country florist 

 should raise a good batch of them, as 

 they are of the easiest possible culture. 

 (Jood varieties are: Alpestris ccErulea; 

 Eliza Fonrobert, deep blue, large flow- 

 ers, a fine sort; alpestris Victoria, a 

 neat bushy habit, color azure blue, 

 splendid for bedding and an excellent 

 rock plant. There are also pink and 

 pure white varieties of this forget-me- 

 not. Splendid for culture in pots or 

 benches are Royal Blue and dissitiflora. 

 Where a spreading deep blue variety 

 for bedding is needed, sylvatica fills the 

 liill nicely.
